Adjetives are words that describes nouns and pronouns. They give more information about somebody or something. For example, we know the word cat but if we want to know how the can looks like, we have to give more information using and adjective. For example, the cat is lazy. Usually, the elephants are big.

Use of adjectives participles
Often, when we talk about feelings, some adjectives look like the present participle or the past participle. The present participle has the ending -ing and the past participle has the ending -ed. For example: exciting and excited. We can say This situation is exciting, but if we talk about ourselves, we have to say We are excited. Here more examples:
This tv show is amusing.We are amused.
This is a boring book. I am bored.

Comparatives and superlatives
When I want to compare things or people, I need to use some special words. The adjectives changes according to how many syllables have the words.
The next table has some examples how to use the comparative forms correctly:
Comparing more that two things
When we compare three or more thing, we need to use the superlative. Fortunatelly, the rules for the superlative are similar to comparative.
Finally, when we use the superlative we use the definite article THE before the adjective>
Mary is the most beautiful girl in the world.
Irregularities
Unfortunatelly, there are some exceptions to these rules. Some adjectives have their own form for both comparative and superlatives. For some reason, not only in English but in many European languages the words good and bad have irregular changes. But if we remember this table, we should not have problems with this>
